Today's blog is about reminiscing the past. One of the discussions I had with mom was about my university days, and how I was more open in university to give something a go than I was in school. I don't know if it was the freedom I had or the opportunities being readily available, but I had a great time and always found myself busy. My parents gave me the freedom to do what ever I wanted and encouraged me to be a part of everything (except partying that involved drinking). For some reason though, I just wasn't that into it in school. I think it might have been because I would be directly under their criticism or maybe it was my way of rebelling.
University was a great time to start new things and get more involved. I started rowing, joined astronomy club (geeky I know - but it was fun!), scuba diving club, pep band and some academic clubs as well. Now that I'm in the outside world fending for myself where other priorities take place, I'm happy to have the memories of University to look back on for things I did.
What I guess I'm trying to say (other than stay in school :) ) is, I realize how important it is to take opportunities as they become available - not to be lazy or keep putting things off. I am absolutely guilty of this sometimes - but it's something I'm trying to work on.
There's stuff going on outside today and we've been home all morning. So mom and I are going to head out - which is what my next blog will be about - the new stuff my mom and I did!
